  • Welcome to the family!

    A quiet path carved through clouds and trees.
    First test of a long-standing wish. Happy me!

     

  • Frozen mist

    January 2025, a temperature inversion led to a few foggy days in central Thuringia. Paired with freezing temperatures, the fog created a white crust around everything within its reach.

    Pictures 1-3, 5 are taken with a Canon EOS70D + Sigma 17-50 2.8
    Picture 4 is taken with an iPhone 12 mini, ultra wide lens

     

  • Smoke tree awesomeness in 2023

    It was time again, the autumn colour [paradise] had been painted. Like every year, just georgeous.

    I did an upgrade of my gear in September last year. This was the first time I went out with my Sigma 17-50 2.8 lens. I always wanted a wide-aperture lens on short focal length and so far, I am happy with it.

     

  • Høhenwartefjord

    This ain’t Norway, this is Høhenwarte.
    (Of course it is river Saale and lake Hohenwarte. The norwegian style branding is part of a tourism campaign.)

  • Smoke tree awesomeness

    As all the years before, autumn paints this hillside red. And again, it’s just gorgeous.

  • Conrod power plant

    Taken on a short hike around Ziegenrück. Lake Hohenwarte with former “Conrod” powerplant, which became useless after the damn has been built. (finally it is being renovated)

    An awesome “playground” when I was a kid. Now it is owned and access isn’t allowed. (not sure if it was when I was a kid, but in the reunification aftermath, nobody cared)

  • Ziemestalbrücke

    Always worth a visit. Still an awesome place.

  • Rainy Day 2

    Another taken on a rainy day. Foggy Saale river in Ziegenrück 

  • Rainy Day 1

    Upper Saale river with a moody layer of fog on a grey and rainy day.
